Critical praise for the new album The New Year
The Kadanes songwriting has never been better, and the attention to sonic detail pays off throughout. Songs like "Seven Days and Seven Nights" and "Folios" are among the best the brothers have ever put on record, and that's saying a lot. - All Music Guide
The gradual and hesitant payoffs of these songs give the feeling of standing on a precipice, while their brief but gorgeous outros are like looking out on a limitless horizon. - Pitchfork
The songs begin as reflective, melancholy odes and transform themselves into chiming cathedrals of sound. - Los Angeles Times
This self-titled third collection's a quiet gem filled with richly understated, instantly memorable melodies and smart, emotionally naked lyrics. - Stereogum
This subtle, delightful and lovingly crafted album will doubtlessly be revered by those lucky few who have been following the Kadane brothers throughout their quiet but increasingly remarkable musical careers. - Pop Matters

I listened, motionless and still; And, as I mounted up the hill, The music in my heart I bore, Long after it was heard no more. ~William Wordsworth thank you for adding me! best wishes to you, Jenna
I'm kinda susprised that there are no other comments about your spanish tour so far. As far as I can tell, and I'm not just speaking for myself, yesterday night's was a fucking good concert, so thank you! Enjoy the rest of the tour...
Dear (The) New Year, Thanks for adding us to your list of online friends. I am excited to see you folks on here. It's been some I time since I've seen you folks play, I missed the last Cambridge,Ma. date. I hope all is well. look forward to see you folks in or around the city.
"The New Year" was the best album of MMVIII. The show in London the same year was also just simply amazing! I had to unhook that stupid smile from my ears with force when I left the venue.
Hey all New Year fans, I will be doing a radio interview with Bubba Kadane on Monday starting at 8 p.m. Mountain Time (or a few minutes before) on KDNK in Carbondale, Colorado. You can access it live at www. KDNK. org.
